I do wish the players would be compensated. But I don't know how you are going to keep track of it all.
Why would they? It's strange thinking that your appearance somehow magically transmits into you getting money for that, just because somebody happens to film that.
One thing everybody needs to understand - we live in a world of surplus. Quit thinking that you hitting some balls somehow constitues a magical rare moment in history.
It is not, and it should not, by any means. Did Mozart get any money for some notes he was playing on a random piano? No.
If you want to get money - invest in yourself.
Setup a camera (+ man), make your own channel, provide high quality content, not just matches, show your gear, show playing tips, create an audience, show yourself as a knowledgable, credible human being.
This will take time to take off, of course, and nobody "in the pool game" does have time for that, apparently.
Also some might need to
accept the cold hard truth: other people invest years (and money) to study or in (college, ...) education to hold "normal, boring"
jobs doing regular but important work (ie garbage men, plumbers, programmers, surgeons, mechanics, even service jobs) with regular pay.
Why do you expect that you get rich by just hitting balls
which does not solve a real world problem?
It's an amusement, and is valued accordingly.
I'd rather pay my garbage man than paying for
watching pool player. Lessons are a very different story.
Cheers,
